A San Diego woman will be sitting with the First Lady Tuesday night during the State of the Union address.

Howard has moved 14 times during her husbandโ€™s career. During her time in San Diego, she has been an active volunteer with the naval community. She started a program to โ€œadoptโ€ a sailor by enlisting people to write letters to a troop during their deployment.
